She is adorable but I think you may be rushing into it. When I lost Trouble I was ready to go out and get another dog. But here is the thing, every dog I was looking for was Trouble. I was looking to fill a void. At there was a puppy I almost brought home 3 weeks after we lost Trouble that it would not have been fair. It would not have been fair to the new pup because the realization would kick in that he wasn't Trouble. All I wanted was Trouble. I wanted another dog fill the void and take away the pain. That would have made things worse, I would have brought home a dog that I really didn't want before I was ready to get a dog, and I would have caused that pup to miss out on a potentially great home where he would be appreciated for just being him. Its never good to get a dog on impluse and while grieving that can happen. I felt I couldn't save him so I needed to go out and get another dog and take of that dog for Trouble. Well Trouble wouldn't have wanted me to do that, he would have wanted me to focus on taking care of his sister (our other dog) and taking care of myself and giving myself the proper time to heal. There is another dog out there for me, and I will be able to give that next dog a good stable home, once I've let myself heal. In the meantime I'm loving just having Sasha believe it or not. But I miss my little buddy every day. Its been six months and I'm in no way ready to open my heart and home to another dog just yet, but soon I will. We just have to wait for a few things to fall into place first and by then I will be ready you know. What I am trying to say is, please give yourself time to heal. It won't be fair to a new dog if you bring that dog in before you are truely ready. Destiny just died, take some time to morn her death and soon you will find the right dog. Just give it some time.

I think you are smart to wait until Ryan and Tyson move out. It will be less adjustments for you and your new dog if you two start out together in a settled environment.

Good luck and again I'm so sorry for your loss
